dance
Dance is perhaps the most shining achievement of evolution, whether divine or not. It is movement in dance that distinguishes us from many other life forms. Without dance we miss out on much of the ecstasy of our wonderful world and remain bare of the exhilaration that dancing can awaken in our being Dance can assist in reaching a better understanding of culture, our own as well as the culture of other people and such appreciation helps to strengthen the spirit of harmony in a multicultural, a multiracial, a multi religious society.
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances
